Beyond the planets
What’s this?Close
Points read beside the planets. The rising sign, or Ascendant, is the sign coming up over the eastern horizon at the minute of birth: the first impression. The Midheaven is the highest point of the sky: career and public life. The North Node is where the Moon’s path crosses the Sun’s: the direction a life grows in. Chiron, a small body between Saturn and Uranus, is a lifelong sore spot and the gift it leaves for others. Black Moon Lilith, where the Moon’s orbit swings farthest from Earth, is what a person keeps untamed.
North Node in Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
16°06′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
13°22′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
22°50′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Aspects by strength
What’s this?Close
An aspect is a set angle between two bodies in the sky at birth. Some angles flow, some rub, and some fuse two bodies into one. The number is how far the angle is from exact: the smaller it is, the stronger the link.
Only the aspects that held from the first minute of the day to the last are shown; each figure is for noon.
Mars quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
Force and restraint kept trading places, and he learned when to let go.
Jupiter opposition North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
The Sun opposition the Moon close at 1.1°
The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.
Venus trine Jupiter close at 1.1°
Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 1.3°
When to expand and when to hold back took constant rethinking.
Venus sextile North Node close at 2.0°
